Why New Mexico must not capitulate
to the flimsy and flawed arguments by the world's largest
Aspartame Manufacturer, Ajinomoto, regarding ostensible FDA
preemption for Aspartame, and Ajinomoto's corporate attempts
to prevent two Board hearings on Aspartame's Neurotoxicity
Letter to the Governor, the Attorney General, and the Deputy
Attorney General of New Mexico
----------------------------
November 28, 2005
The Honorable William Blaine Richardson
The Honorable Patricia Madrid
The Honorable Stuart Bluestone
Dear Governor Richardson, Attorney General Patricia Madrid,
and Deputy Attorney General Stuart Bluestone:
Below please find the letter I wrote the EIB [Environmental
Improvement Board] in September proving that aspartame
violates both State and Federal Statutes on Adulteration. I
want each of you to take the time to read the EIB letter
from September, and this more current one to you with my
responses to the Ajinomoto of Japan's New Mexico lawyer's
brief asking that the Board of Pharmacy not move forward
with any hearing on aspartame's neurotoxicity. Thus, you
will know that aspartame is a product that is poisonous,
mislabeled, and adulterative, making it unfit for human
consumption.
If aspartame were under consideration for approval today
based on science instead of by the politics of Don Rumsfeld,
there is no way it would be approved today. The FDA refused
approval for 16 years, and at one point, even asked the
Justice Department to prosecute the manufacturer for fraud
and submission of false documents! This is the first and
only time in its history that FDA did this. However both
prosecutors, Sam Skinner and William Conlon, hired on
with the defense team representing the industries, and the
statute of limitations expired.
FDA continued to deny approval, and another branch of the
Federal Government, the Department of Defense, was doing
research on using aspartame as a biological weapon against
other nations. Then Donald Rumsfeld, President of G.D.
Searle, who was also on Reagan's transition team, "called in
his markers," as he worded it, and his choice for the new
FDA Commissioner, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, was appointed.
It mattered not that aspartame was a proven carcinogen
and triggered in original studies brain, mammary, uterine,
ovarian, testicular, pancreatic and thyroid tumors, as well
as testicular atrophy, polyps and seizures.
Dr. Adrian Gross, FDA toxicologist, told Congress that
aspartame, without a shadow of a doubt triggers brain cancer
and violates the Delaney Amendment forbidding carcinogenic
additives. Hayes ignored the objection of his own Public
Board of Inquiry and approved it in 1981. Dr. Gross told
Congress in 1985 that since it triggers brain tumors, FDA
could not by law have set an allowable daily dose. In 1987
FDA toxicologist, Dr. Jacqueline Verrett, testified to
Congress that all Searle's studies were built on a
foundation of sand and should be thrown out; it had not been
proven safe, though it was on the market in thousands of
products at that time.
FDA is the handmaiden of Big Pharma, their loyal attack dog.
Dr. James Bowen of Hawaii, who has Lou Gehrig's caused by
aspartame, has written that before the FDA approved
aspartame, it was intact, but once it was approved and FDA
had to lie about its safety, it is as though they no longer
cared. One employee of the FDA told the mother of an
aspartame-seizure victim:
"We revoked the petition for approval; we tried to
indict the company; we said it wasn't safe, and we said it
caused seizures and brain tumors. They should have listened
to us. Now what do you want us to do?"
On www.dorway.com please see
the Bressler Report, an FDA audit by Jerome Bressler, now
retired. It gives the manufacturer indigestion. I thanked
Mr. Bressler for his candor in letting the world know how
deadly aspartame is, and he told me the studies were much
worse than his FDA Audit showed because when they retyped
it, they removed the worst 20%. He didn't say who was behind
it but to look for two mice studies and a cover letter and I
would learn how bad it is. Dr. Bressler repeated this to Dr.
Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon who spoke to him on the
matter. Dr. H. J. Roberts of Palm Beach Florida asked his
congressman to get the missing records. The FDA wrote the
congressman that the information is confidential and they
would not release it. That is against the law, of course,
but if the FDA released this particular information, they'd
be found guilty of altering reports.
Dr. John Olney, one of the world's most renowned
neuroscientists [who] founded the field of neuroscience
called excitotoxicity, after doing the studies on MSG and
aspartic acid, the acid which constitutes 40% of aspartame
by molecular weight. He found lesions in the brains of mice
from these chemicals and tried to prevent aspartame
approval. (An excitotoxin is a biochemical that literally
stimulates the neurons of the brain to death. Neurosurgeon
Russell Blaylock wrote a book on this subject -
Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills).
Dr. Olney, fed up with all the fraud, insisted that Searle
do studies in his lab so he could oversee them, and prevent
manipulation. The studies showed brain damage. Dr. Olney
thought it would never be approved, but didn't realize that
Searle simply deleted those studies from its report to FDA.
In 14 years, I've spoken to a lot of informants and could
give a course on how manufacturers of aspartame manipulate
studies, and mislead the public. You simply cannot get a
chemical poison like aspartame, a deadly, deadly neurotoxic
drug, and carcinogen, to show safety unless you manipulate
the studies for that purpose.
One study pivotal in the approval of aspartame was a 52-week
oral toxicity study on 7 infant monkeys. Five had grand
mal seizures and one died. However, it's very well known
that aspartame is a seizure triggering drug, and interacts
with anti-seizure medication and all medication and
vaccines. It damages the mitochondria of the cells; this is
one of the reasons, and, of course, it is a chemical
hypersensitization agent that triggers polychemical
sensitivity syndrome.
The FDA report of 92 symptoms from 10,000 volunteered
consumer complaints, more that the complaints to FDA
about all other food additives combined, is on
www.dorway.com (In other words,
the FDA's own 92 symptom chart shows four different kinds of
seizures triggered by aspartame!)
Monsanto, which bought Searle in 1985, decided they would do
studies to show safety and put the minds of the people at
rest. Here's what they did, in this hopelessly flawed
double-blind study funded by Monsanto, the Rowen study of
1995:
They were so afraid somebody would have a seizure they
actually had 16 of the 18 subjects taking anti-seizure
medication during the study. They knew the CDC showed that
most seizures linked to aspartame don't appear until three
or more months of real world aspartame use, so they did a
ONE DAY study with subjects all having been given in
advance anti-seizure medication!
The aspartame was in capsules, so instead of spiking the
plasma phenylalanine level and significantly changing the
phenylalanine/LNAA ratio, the phenylalanine was absorbed
very slowly -- more like what happens when ingesting food (Stegink
1987). These researchers discussed in detail the issue of
plasma phenylalanine and LNAA levels. It was particularly
absurd that they gave the aspartame in capsules, even though
they cited industry research (Burns l990) that proves
capsulated aspartame eliminates the spike in plasma
phenylalanine! The researchers were pretending to test the
hypothesis that phenylalanine/LNAA ratio changes cause
seizures, but intentionally skewed their dog-and-pony show
to get the result they wanted.
Capsulated aspartame slows the absorption of methanol and
may reduce its toxicity somewhat similar to the way
ingestion of food with methanol may slightly reduce its
toxicity (Posner 1975) and also eliminates the quick
absorption of the excitotoxin, aspartic acid (Stegink 1987).
When aspartic acid is absorbed quickly, it is extremely
excitotoxic (Blaylock 1994, Olney 1980), especially in
conjunction with formaldehyde that comes from the methanol
in aspartame.
This "study" consisted of ONLY ONE SINGLE DOSE of aspartame
ingestion. This was comparable to the test subjects just
smelling the bottle! The results of this study only apply to
people who take a single dose of encapsulated aspartame
while they're on anti-seizure medication. Not only is this
study worthless, but also key information wasn't in the
abstract; namely, the fact the subjects were on anti-seizure
medication and that the aspartame was in capsules. This is
just one example, and there are indeed hundreds, of the
tactics used by the manipulative criminals in the aspartame
industry who are trying to prevent two board hearings and
investigations by the state of New Mexico into their
manipulative techniques to conceal and misrepresent
evidence!
Ralph Walton M.D. did an independent study on aspartame, and
Monsanto, knowing they could not control the study, even
refused to sell him the aspartame. After one man had a
retinal detachment (the methanol in aspartame converts to
formaldehyde and formic acid destroys the optic nerve) and
lost vision in that eye, and another subject had
conjunctival bleeding while others reporting they were being
poisoned, the study was halted. You CANNOT do an honest
study on this chemical poison and show safety. Poisons
are always poisons - period. Dr. Walton's study is on
www.wnho.net.
Further, in 1996 when Dr. John Olney made world news on the
aspartame/brain tumor association, Dr. Walton joined him on
60 Minutes with his research on peer-reviewed studies and
funding, showing 92% of independent peer reviewed studies
reveal the problems aspartame causes. Dr. Walton also stated
if you removed the studies FDA had something to do with,
100% of independent studies show the problems with
aspartame. Read this study on
www.dorway.com.
So if all independent studies show problems, what does this
say about industry controlled/ funded studies that say
aspartame is so safe? And why do the manufacturers threaten
researchers who do these independent studies? Dr. Richard
Wurtman of the Brain Studies Department of MIT testified
before Congress on how dangerous this drug is. He also
decided to do studies on aspartame and seizures, but was
threatened by the VP of Searle that if he did his research,
his funding would be terminated. Today Dr. Wurtman refuses
to speak out about aspartame, yet MIT is getting funding
again. However, he couldn't destroy the paper trail on how
deadly aspartame is. Although Wurtman edited "Dietary
Phenylalanine and Brain Function," this book is now
removed from MIT, but many of his reports are on our web
sites explaining the toxicity.
Gregory Gordon did an 8 month investigation on aspartame
when he was with UPI (on
www.dorway.org part one - part two) also wrote the
article "FDA Resisted Proposals To Test Aspartame" when he
was working with the Minneapolis Star Tribune in
1996. The manufacturers manipulate the FDA into helping them
prevent new independent studies, by citing the ostensible
"200 studies that show it is safe." Gordon wrote:
"Food and Drug Administration officials have for years
resisted proposals from government scientists for
comprehensive studies on the safety of the artificial
sweetener aspartame, which [at least] 100 million Americans
consume as NutraSweet. Between the early 1980s and 1994,
scientists at the National Institutes of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS) proposed at least four times that
the government's leading program for toxicology research
fund such studies, the Star Tribune has learned. The
government scientists said they wanted the National
Toxicology Program to conduct animal studies to resolve
questions about the sweetener's cancer risks. After each of
these "nominations," NIEHS officials elected not to pursue
the research at the urging of FDA officials, who said they
were satisfied with industry-sponsored research that found
no health risks. ...
"Now, after a scientific paper by researchers at Washington
University of St. Louis has rekindled fears that aspartame
may cause deadly brain tumors, some present and former NIEHS
officials are criticizing the FDA for using its influence to
delay research that could have settled some or all of the
safety questions."
Perhaps by now, you can understand why no one in the USA
knew that the European Foundation of Oncology and
Environmental Sciences Cancer Research Centre in Bologna,
Italy was doing a 3-year study on aspartame. No independent
researcher would want the manufacturers to know, because
they would threaten, try to prevent and harass them. The
studies, just recently released, show just exactly what was
expected, that aspartame triggers malignant brain tumors as
in original studies, lymphoma, leukemia and even kidney
cancer and cancer of the peripheral cranial nerves. They
called it a multipotential carcinogen, which we've known for
25 years!
In the 1970's, G.D. Searle sacrificed people in South and
Central America who were in poor villages. They developed
brain tumors and seizures; one pregnant woman began to bleed
extensively, lost her baby, and disappeared; and otherwise
the studies showed aspartame destroys the brain and central
nervous system. Aspartame also hardened the synovial fluids
accounting for the agonizing joint pain so many victims
complain about. Searle did not publish these studies,
although we have the affidavit of the translator. They
promptly closed the Florida office, went back to Illinois,
and sent the physician involved to Mexico.
Now FDA will just stick with industry and accept the flawed
studies instead of the real ones. They're complaining the
Italian researchers didn't kill the rats after 2 years but
let them live out their lives. This to determine how many
cancers the aged rats would develop, just as my files are
full of cancer reports from older Americans. The quicker you
kill them, the fewer cancers you find!
Studies in Norway a few years ago showed aspartame destroys
the brain, especially in the area of learning. The studies
in South and Central America revealed the brain tumors. The
manufacturers' own studies in Dr. Olney's office showed
aspartame destroys the brain. The manufacturers have been
caught red-handed so all they can use is their abundant
clout & cash to get regulators to rubber-stamp their
poisons. To hell with the people their poisons kill!
This letter has been long and detailed; in order for you to
know beyond a shadow of a doubt, as FDA toxicologist, Dr.
Gross, told Congress, that aspartame is indeed a carcinogen.
Dr. H. J. Roberts' medical text, Aspartame Disease: An
Ignored Epidemic, is 1038 pages of diseases and horrors
that this toxin causes. As an abortifacient and teratogen it
has destroyed millions of babies in their mother's womb and
caused ADD, Autism, ADHD, Tourette's, mental retardation and
a host of other horrors to our children.
Governor Richardson, thank you for your courage to get junk
food out of school. Please just remember "no sweeteners," as
they mostly are all chemicals except for Just Like Sugar
(available in Whole Foods) and the sweet herb Stevia. There
are products like Xylitol that can cause some bloating but
nowhere near as bad as what it is presently in soft drinks.
With the information I am giving you in this letter, you and
the legislators can strongly stand up to and reject the
complaints of the lobbyists for the corporations which
include Ajinomoto, Altria Corporate Services (Kraft-Philip
Morris), the Glutamate Association of America, Pepsi Cola
and Coca Cola, when your excellent legislative efforts in
this realm come before the 2006 legislature.
Attorney General Madrid and Deputy Attorney General
Bluestone, please show the same kind of courage in your
legal research and your eventual Opinion for the Pharmacy
Board, that they can move forward to hear evidence on the
neurotoxicity of aspartame in medications, vitamins, and
aspirin, despite the fact that this neurodegenerative
product technically retains its ill-gotten FDA approval.
Aspartame has caused an epidemic of obesity and diabetes.
It also aggravates and simulates diabetic retinopathy and
neuropathy and interacts with insulin. It's a drug that
makes you crave carbohydrates as Dr. Wurtman has reported.
[Please see protest of National Soft Drink Association]
A book could be written on what the manufacturers have done!
Even in the UPI investigation, it was reported physicians
who spoke out to Congress were put on a yacht and the
aspartame manufacturers tried to change their mind. No one
disagrees they have bottomless checkbooks, but they also
intimidate, threaten and have no concern for how many perish
on their poison, and this should be prosecuted in due
course by racketeering statutes, because purely and
simply, racketeering is precisely what they do! If aspartame
were safe, consider they would not have to manipulate
studies, and try to prevent any independent studies, just as
Ajinomoto is trying now to prevent any inquiries about
aspartame's neurotoxicity from two New Mexico Boards!
In one of the manufacturers' press releases on the new
Italian study, they commented that they thought it was
criminal that the regulatory people were not advised. In
other words, what they are saying is that they had no
opportunity to change the results by purchasing the
researchers' loyalty! Dr. Blaylock said their study
confirmed the previous study by Dr. Trocho and co-workers
(1998) that also found the formaldehyde breakdown product of
aspartame to be damaging to cellular DNA and that this
damage was cumulative. Similarly, when aspartame
manufacturers and their front groups like the Calorie
Control Council say the recent Italian studies by the
Ramazzini Foundation don't go along with other carcinogen
studies, they are lying; they are trying to compare the
truthful new one from Italy to ones they controlled to get
the result they wanted. And the Trocho people were
intimidated terribly.
Please don't forget Dr. Blaylock's words in Aspartame
Makers Tell A Whopper:
"This study should terrify mothers and all those
consuming aspartame sweetened products. This was a carefully
done study that clearly demonstrated a statistically
significant increase in several types of lymphomas and
leukemias in rats. Both of these malignancies have increased
significantly in this country since the widespread use of
aspartame."
He also wrote: "These studies strongly indicate that
drinking a single diet cola sweetened with aspartame
everyday could significantly increase one's risk of
developing a lymphoma or leukemia."
Clearly by statute, the Environmental Improvement Board of
New Mexico and the Board of Pharmacy have the power to
conduct hearings, examine the evidence, and if they deem
appropriate, to then ban aspartame. If they didn't exercise
their powers given to them by the legislature in statutes,
they would be of no use to the people. This was corroborated
by former Special Assistant Attorney General Stevan Looney,
now of the Sutin Firm, who represented Petitioner Stephen
Fox pro-bono because he knew he was protecting the health of
the citizens of New Mexico.
-----------------------------------------
With that being said, I would like to go over the specific
arguments from the attorneys who represent the manufacturers
who make this toxin poisoning the world.
I. Ajinomoto's lawyer wrote that he would argue, "that
federal approval of aspartame prevents the Board from
outlawing it." That's pure poppycock. A precedent was
given in the conclusion of the EIB, after hearing extensive
medical and even more extensive legal arguments. If you
examined further the FDA approval, you would see that it was
illegally approved. First of all, it's a drug, and not an
additive. An additive BY LAW requires that it be inert, the
symptoms and diseases would not be filling a 1038 page
medical text, and there wouldn't be 92 documented symptoms
on the FDA report. Aspartame is about as inert as Mt.
Vesuvius when it erupts!
Aspartame not only failed the adulteration statutes, but
also was considered by the National Soft Drink Association
to be an adulterant; this is part of the congressional
record. Interestingly, the FDA admitted aspartame could not
be heated and then gave heed to the wind and approved it for
baking. Thus, the soft drink companies WITH FULL
KNOWLEDGE sent diet pop laced with this poison to the
Persian Gulf to sit in the 120 degree Arabian sun for as
long as 8 weeks at a time so the troops could ingest
formaldehyde cocktails, one of the major precipitants and
causes of the so-called "Gulf War Syndrome."
Aspartame can precipitate MS and ALS or Lou Gehrig's. So
when the Government did a study, they found a lot of the
troops had Lou Gehrig's. What would you expect? One lady who
had an aspartame brain tumor said she was in a support group
in Texas that had 70 vets, all with brain tumors. Remember
that aspartame interacts with vaccines. They didn't have a
chance. Further, the symptoms of Desert Storm Illness are
identical to the FDA's report of 92 documented symptoms. It
doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize the truth: that
the manufacturers had full knowledge of their crime.
The evidence is already piled so high there is no way the
manufacturers could win on honest grounds. They left a paper
trail like their trade secret information explaining their
knowledge. In the last paragraph they said:
"With the spoon-for-spoon, we have no way of estimating
maximum likely abuse and hence need to utilize data based on
almost complete conversion to DKP. If we include this use in
the original FAP, we stand a good chance of ending up with
nothing in the short run and nothing in the long run,
whereas the other approach would give us something in the
short run and quite likely as much as we would ever get in
the long run."
DKP [diketo-piperazine] is a proven brain tumor-causing
agent, so they knew there was almost complete conversion,
and a global population would come down with brain tumors.
How can the manufacturers even try to fight? The evidence of
their many crimes is detailed in numerous government and
public domain records.
II. "No State Law Delegation to Board." Ajinomoto's
lawyers say they will argue that the legislature has not
given this Board the authority to regulate in this area.
Nonsense! They describe the Pharmacy Board's enabling
statute as an anti-fraudulent labeling law. This is correct,
but that is not all this statute is. If aspartame were
labeled correctly, the label would say: "Genocide: Keep
out of reach of humans."
One woman's life was saved because her daughter, a med
student, happened to notice the aspartame in her lab had a
skull and crossbones on it. Realizing it was a poison she
got her mother off of it and saved her life. Up till that
point, she had been away planning her funeral in her
hometown.
In the background of all of these considerations, there is
so much product liability involved a paper could be written
on it, perhaps a worthy future endeavor for your Civil
Division, Madame Attorney General?
The manufacturers label aspartame diet when in fact, it
makes you gain weight. It is labeled as an additive instead
of drug. It liberates free methyl alcohol, which is against
the law, and methanol is classified as a narcotic. The
chronic methanol poisoning is what affects the dopamine
system of the brain and causes the addiction as discussed in
Dr. Roberts's medical text. Can you imagine, our children
being given a narcotic and a neurodegenerative metabolite
like formaldehyde in their vitamins, aspirin, prescription
drugs and food? If someone in the New Mexico Attorney
General's staff or in a private New Mexico Plaintiff's firm
wanted to investigate product liability and fraud, aspartame
fits every definition perfectly.
III. The attorneys speak of the Board's Discretionary
Right to Refrain from Proceeding saying "even if the Board
were to conclude it has the power, it can refrain from doing
anything."
Perhaps they threw that in to in essence ask, "Why be
bothered?"
Why be bothered? To stop the people of New Mexico
from being poisoned! Ajinomoto's lawyers maintain that the
Board lacks the expertise of the FDA, which approved
aspartame. In the beginning, over 16 years from 1966 to
1981, the FDA did not approve aspartame; it declined the
petition for approval. Since no FDA Commissioner would allow
it on the market for 16 years, Donald Rumsfeld, at that
point President of G.D. Searle, the aspartame patent holder,
had to get Reagan to appoint an FDA Commissioner who would
over-rule the Board of Inquiry. That man was Dr. Arthur Hull
Hayes, and Reagan was so concerned he actually wrote an
executive order to make the current FDA Commissioner
powerless to do anything about aspartame until he could get
Hayes there to do his deadly deed!
The rest of Ajinomoto's argument is more babble because they
really have nothing to say in its defense which legally
viable. The Board does not lack the resources to address the
issue. The Board has access to physicians and experts to
bring them the evidence, and plenty will testify to counter
what we anticipate from the corporate "rental" physicians,
pediatricians, and toxicologists. We have most of the
documents and studies.
And then Ajinomoto's lawyer's foolish statement: "The
two distinct pending requests - relating to aspartame and
mercury - may not be the only ones filed. If the Board
entertains these, others could follow." So what is
their point here? If there are other poisons, they should
follow. Any person of integrity would not want citizens to
be destroyed by poisons. That's why New Mexico has an
Environmental Improvement Board and a Board of Pharmacy.
Next, Ajinomoto's lawyer says that "if the Board
decides to proceed, it first may need to adopt rules of
substance and procedure governing this process." We
agree, of course, since the lives and health of the citizens
of New Mexico are important enough to put exacting efforts
into delineating effective rules of substance and procedure.
If the rules of substance and procedure are seen to be
substantially spelled out and delineated in the New Mexico
statutes in the sections of the Drug Act concerning
adulteration, mislabeling, and other concerns, surely you as
Governor and you as Attorney General might accept that the
Pharmacy Board with 6 pharmacists on it, can easily
determine appropriate rules of substance and procedure on
its own, and not facilely or sloppily accept the
corporate-substituted procedures prepared by Ajinomoto's
lawyers.
Next, the Ajinomoto lawyer asks:
"A. Substance - What must be proven to outlaw or permit
aspartame? What level of risk of harm must be established
for the petitioner to prevail? Who has the burden of proof?
Is it relevant that aspartame has health benefits such as
combating obesity?"
Wow! Did the manufacturers' attorneys do any research at
all? Perhaps they are making it up as they go along because
they don't know what to say? What beyond the following must
be proven to outlaw aspartame?
1. It's an illegal deadly neurotoxic drug masquerading as an
additive. This has already been proven with over 20 years of
use, using the public as guinea pigs, with incontrovertible
and almost incalculable neurodegenerative damage to
millions.
2. Level of harm? Aspartame has destroyed millions of
people; there is an Aspartame Toxicity Center recording the
cases; there are Aspartame Detoxification Centers caring for
the victims in many cities; there are many medical texts
documenting the mechanism by which is disables and kills;
and finally, there are operations and citizens' groups in
every state and over 30 countries just warning the people
not to use it or have their health destroyed or even lose
their life, all acting pro bono! How could such operations
even exist if aspartame were as safe as Ajinomoto would have
you naively believe?
Ajinomoto's lawyers ask the question about possible health
benefits of aspartame? Hogwash! There is no health benefit
to consuming poison. According to Neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock, aspartame actually damages the cardiac conduction
system and causes sudden death:
http://www.rense.com/general67/alert.htm
Further, as Dr. Blaylock says in a lecture on
www.dorway.com:
"Understand the reactions to aspartame are not allergic
but toxic like arsenic and cyanide." If physicians can't
find a health benefit for cyanide, they certainly won't find
one for aspartame.
B. Ajinomoto Attorneys ask: "Procedure - What weight
is given to the federal determination? Is it enough that the
Board merely disagrees with FDA, or must it find the FDA
determination is 'clearly erroneous' or the product of
fraud, collusion or undue influence? Is the entire federal
record to be admitted? Are exhibits exchanged in advance? Is
expert testimony required? Who is an expert?"
This perhaps is a kind of corporate lawyer's fishing
expedition. All the evidence and exhibits are available.
There is so much expert testimony, physicians and scientists
could give the facts continuously for all 5 days in the July
2006 EIB hearings. How about as experts the very physicians
who have been treating aspartame victims for two decades in
the trenches of medical practice, like Dr. H.J. Roberts, Dr.
Ralph Walton, and Dr. Russell
Blaylock?
C. Aspartame v. Mercury - "Are there to be two
different sets of rules and two different standards for
aspartame, which has affirmative federal approval and for
mercury, which may not have such approval."
Obviously what the Board is concerned with is evidence they
are poisons and that evidence is available. The rule change
and additional chapter to the New Mexico Administrative Code
being considered by the Board of Pharmacy is on the subject
of neurotoxic additives to medications and vaccines, the
worst of which are aspartame/formaldehyde and thimerosal/mercury.
IV. "No Need to Proceed Now."
They must have thrown that in because they ran out of things
to say!
A. Petitioners could take their evidence to FDA. "They
claim aspartame violates federal standards, notwithstanding
federal approval."
They really ought to know better than to say something this
stupid. Physicians and scientists have been screaming at the
FDA, giving them the proof, and filing Citizens Petitions
for banning for years. They know the FDA operates above the
law and ignores this. In fact, I filed a Citizens' Petition
for banning aspartame, based on the fact their records show
aspartame to be a chemical poison and that they lied to the
public, and continue to lie to the public.
The law requires they answer in 180 days. It will be 4 years
in June! The FDA refuses to operate within the law and
answer this petition. One of the reasons is I listed the
lies found within the government records is that the only
way they can answer the petition and my citations of all of
the FDA and industry lies is for the FDA to honestly remove
aspartame from the market. So the FDA just ignores it. They
wrote back to me they had more important things to do!
"B. Some of the issues in this matter might be resolved
in the New Mexico EIB proceedings and possible related
judicial proceedings."
Ajinomoto's lawyer threw this in to raise the possibility to
the Board of Pharmacy that they will bring an action in
state or federal court similar to the action brought by the
very same lawyer (Richard Minzner) against the New Mexico
EIB for trying to create and implement stronger safety
standards to protect workers from acts of violence in
convenience stores. This is obviously a not so subtle form
of intimidation by the same lawyer with a different client
of a second New Mexico Board, the Board of Pharmacy.
Yes, these issues might be and will be resolved when
aspartame is banned. The manufacturers are scared to death
because when aspartame is banned people will wake up well
from all kinds of health problems they have been suffering
from. When my organization, Mission Possible International,
prepared 16,000 Killer Kola brochures on aspartame which
were given out freely from an organic market in Atlanta with
the medical evidence on this neurotoxin some years ago,
thousands abstained, and about 60 days later, people came
into the store exclaiming that all kinds of health problems
had disappeared. Seizures stopped; those crippled from
Multiple Sclerotic symptoms walked again; headaches
disappeared; and dozens of symptoms vanished. The
manufacturers know if aspartame is banned in New Mexico,
there will emerge a kind of prima facie evidence for their
absolute complicity in these neuro-degenerative problems,
and, as well, of their massive product liability.
Below is the letter written to the EIB Board on how
aspartame violates state and federal adulteration statutes.
These violations alone are enough to ban it from New Mexico
in food products.
Please stand strong and don't be intimidated! You can set a
precedent for the world to follow, and thus go down in
history as having saved the lives of millions of people!
If you really want to see many more of the really egregious
facts in evidence, please watch the movie Sweet Misery: A
Poisoned World. Observe the interview with Diane
Fleming, a Sunday school teacher whose husband, a basketball
athlete and heavy user of aspartame, died from the methanol
poisoning. They thought she poisoned him, even though she
took a lie detector test and passed, and the detective
involved in the investigation said there was no way she
could have poisoned him. She was the one who called the
police. She was sentenced to 20 and 30 years concurrently
and lingers in a cold prison cell in Virginia because the
manufacturers of aspartame murdered her husband. Doctors'
affidavits say Charles Fleming died from aspartame. Yet
another victim from this neurodegenerative artificial
sweetener, perhaps the cruelest story of them all!
Free the citizens of New Mexico from this deadly poison!

I'm the founder of Mission Possible International, a global
volunteer force with operations in 50 states and over 30
countries of the world warning all consumers off aspartame.
The FDA is well known for approving poisons but in this case
they not only didn't want to approve it but also tried to
have the original manufacturer indicted for fraud. You can
read the FDA audit, the Bressler Report on
www.dorway.com. I personally
spoke with Jerome Bressler as did world experts on
aspartame, H. J. Roberts, M.D., and neurosurgeon Russell
Blaylock, M.D. He said studies on aspartame were so bad when
it was retyped the FDA omitted the worst 20%. It is hard to
imagine it is any worse than we know, but even when Dr. H.J.
Roberts asked his congressman to get the omitted part
released the FDA refused, as they are now on the side of the
manufacturer. Originally, they were heroes in trying to keep
it off the market, but both U.S. Prosecutors hired on with
the defense team instead of indicting Searle and the statute
of limitations expired.
In the end aspartame was approved by politics rather than
science as exposed in the aspartame documentary, Sweet
Misery: A Poisoned World,
www.docworkers.com There have been three
congressional hearings trying to have it banned and several
Citizens' Petitions including my own which the FDA won't
even answer, serving above the law, because it's based on
lying, and the lies are in the government records I quote.
There is no way to answer it without banning it based on all
laws that are violated with this product.
It violated the adulteration statute and couldn't have been
approved through legal standards which is why the necessity
for politics. How much more proof than the Trocho Study in
Barcelona, which shows the formaldehyde converted from the
free methyl alcohol accumulates in the cells and damages
DNA. In the medical text by H. J. Roberts, M.D., Aspartame
Disease: An Ignored Epidemic, there is actually a page on
pre-embalming. Dr. Russell Blaylock has a lecture on
www.dorway.com in which he says
the reactions from aspartame are not allergic but toxic like
arsenic and cyanide.
James Bowen, M.D. of Hawaii wrote this in a letter to the
FDA:
"This is mass poisoning of the American public and more
than 70 countries of the world. Every known metabolite of
aspartame is of marked or questionable toxicity and patent
unsafe for human use. Methyl alcohol is metabolized to
nascent formaldehyde in the eye, nervous system and other
metabolically active organs. It immediately attacks and
denatures the tissue structure proteins in which it is
metabolized to nascent formaldehyde. This stimulates
specific organ and subcellular autoimmunity that seems to be
a preponderant source of the bad, experiences reported by
NutraSweet victims. Aspartic acid is a neuroexcitotoxin
present in damaging amounts, in its own right, at the ADI
for aspartame. Simple logic tells one that it will vastly
increase the metabolism of methyl alcohol to formaldehyde."
"This corresponds well with the symptomalogies often
experienced, such as Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), bulbar
palsies, neurohormonal disorders. The diketopiperazine issue
remains totally unresolved and dangerous."
Dr. Bowen makes the profound statement: "There is the
issue of the approval of aspartame for market, which has
violated every principle of responsible science and
responsible government." Dr. Bowen himself is a victim
and has Lou Gehrig's disease.
I have reviewed the New Mexico statutes on adulteration and
poisonous substances. The New Mexico Food Act (25-2-1 to
25-2-19 and 25-2-20 NMSA 1978) allows appropriate
proceedings to be initiated in proper courts.
According to the Statute text, (A-1) a food shall be deemed
to be adulterated if it bears or contains any poisonous or
deleterious substance which may render it injurious to
health or (2) if it bears or contains any added poisonous or
added deleterious substance which is unsafe or (3) a
decomposed substance or otherwise unfit for food.
Aspartame is probably the best example of an adulterated and
poisonous substance, and not only should be banned but also
should never have been approved. The protest of the National
Soft Drink Assn (name changed to American Beverage now) is
part of the congressional record proving aspartame violated
the federal adulteration law and was illegally added. By
admission of NSDA.
Section 402 of FDC Act 21 provides a food is adulterated if
it contains, in whole or in part "...a decomposed
substance or if it is otherwise unfit for food". This is
the same as the New Mexico statute and gives your state the
right to ban aspartame. The NSDA in this protest against
aspartame approval in 1983 recorded this, as found in the
Congressional Record of May 7, 1985, Page S 5509, Senate.
NSDA knew aspartame decomposes in soft drinks. They
objected: "Searle has not demonstrated to a reasonable
certainty that aspartame and its degradation products are
safe for use in soft drinks. Aspartame is inherently
markedly and uniquely unstable in aqueous media. In a liquid
such as a soft drink aspartame will degrade as a function of
temperature and pH." S5507
Searle the original manufacturer went out of their way to
use the wrong type of testing because they knew it could not
pass the regulations. Inferior test methods were used by
Searle as NSDA explained: "High pressure liquid
chromotography is a far superior analytical method relative
to thin layer chromatography and numerous HPLC methods exist
for the detection and quantification of amino acids.
Searle's choice of TLC over HPLC adversely affected the
quality and type of analytical data generated on aspartame
and its decomposition products in soft drinks."
Aspartic acid, which is 40% of aspartame by molecular
weight, is an excitotoxin, a product that stimulates the
neurons of the brain to death (Excitotoxins: The Taste
That Kills, neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D.,) and
was tested by renowned neuroscientist John Olney, M.D., in
1970 and found to cause lesions in the brains of mice. This
is why Dr. Olney tried to prevent approval. Searle went out
of their way to make sure it was not detected as the protest
admits:
"The inappropriateness of using TLC as a principal
analytical method is compounded by the fact that the values
of aspartame degradation products being measured are close
to the limits of detection of the method. Thus, the values
purportedly obtained by the TLC method cannot be considered
to be very precise. Finally, an important decomposition
product of aspartame, aspartic acid cannot be detected at
all using TLC."
The NSDA recorded other attempts at cover-up and said there
were at least six significant deficiencies in the analyses
undertaken to identify and quantify aspartame and DKP in
soft drinks. DKP or diketopiperazine is broken down from the
entire molecule and is a brain tumor agent. They said:
"The standards for use of HPLC to detect aspartame and
DKP were prepared in buffered aqueous solutions. A far
better technique would have been to prepare the standards
using beverage matrices would have reduced the danger of
interfering compounds co eluting with the compound of
interest." It is also of interest that they said: "Searle
analyzed only single bottles at any given time and
temperature. This aspect of the study design fails to
account for anticipated bottle-to-bottle variations. Single
bottle analytical data cannot, under any circumstances,
amount to a comprehensive and reliable characterization of
the decomposition products of an additive with a well-known
instability problem."
This would be a good time to say a child could do better
because a child did. Twelve-year-old Jennifer Cohen decided
in 1997 to find out why her grandmother almost died from
aspartame. She put 7 cans of Diet Coke in the fridge, 7 cans
in her room at room temperature (about 69 degrees and 7 cans
in a BOEKEL incubator and set the temperature at 104 degrees
Fahrenheit and left them there for 10 weeks. Winston
Laboratory in Ridgefield, New Jersey did the testing.
Even the Diet Coke in the fridge had broken down to
formaldehyde and DKP. This study, which is on
www.dorway.com, was published
in Food Chemical News.
Later, Ryan Tholen, a 5th grader in 2002, repeated this
experiment. Braun Intertec Lab in Edina, Minn. did the
testing with similar results.
Did Searle know what they were doing? They are experts. The
Chicago Sun Times on July 24, 2002 published an
article about Triangle Laboratories of Durham, N.C. The
Company had developed RapidScreen, a test based on
high-resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry,
proving rapid and reasonable analysis of products submitted
by food producers. Joseph D. Morales is quoted as saying:
"At some point, the weight of the evidence is going to tip
people to the side of true concern about the quality and
safety levels of the food supply."
Morales is former corporate controller of G. D. Searle and
former executive vice president and chief operating office
of the NutraSweet Co. As one reader commented, "I guess
people change their stories, depending on the source of the
money that fills their pockets."
The entire protest of the NSDA can be read at:
http://www.dorway.com/nsda.html
In the summary of the basis for objection the NSDA said:
"The present record does not contain data which demonstrate
that the use of aspartame in soft drinks will not result in
the adulteration of the beverages under section 402 (a) (3)
of the FDC Act 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3) which provides that a
food is adulterated if it contains, in whole or in part "...
a decomposed substance or if it is otherwise unfit for
food."
Indeed, the present record strongly suggests that the rapid
degradation of aspartame in soft drinks and the consequent
loss of sweetness may well result, under certain actual time
and temperature conditions in products that would be
adulterated under section 402. Without data that demonstrate
that aspartame sweetened beverages will not be adulterated
under section 402 (a) (3). Searle has not met its burden of
proof under section 409 (c) (3) (B) of the FDC Act 21 USC
348 (c) (3) (B)
What New Mexico needs to know is it decomposes and
adulterates making this an open and shut case. It's admitted
it breaks down at 86 degrees or moderate temperature in
their protest. They say in "Factual Basis for Objection
Two" that "The marked and rapid decomposition of
aspartame is soft drinks under temperatures known to prevail
is apparent from data in the present record and discussed
above in these objections. Those data show that it is
reasonable to expect aspartame to decompose in soft drinks
sufficiently rapidly under current handling and distribution
procedures to adversely affect product quality and taste. It
is well established under section 402 (a) (3) that a food
that contains a decomposed substance (i.e. the decomposition
products of aspartame which Searle's data show can readily
exceed the quantity of aspartame in a short time) -
especially where the decomposition has adversely affected
product quality or made the product unpalatable - is
adulterated and subject to seizure. It is quite clear that
FDA WOULD CONSIDER BEVERAGES WHICH HAD LOST SUBSTANTIAL
SWEETNESS BECAUSE OF ASPARTAME DECOMPOSITION AND WHICH WERE
THEREFORE NOT PALATABLE TO BE ADULTERATED UNDER SECTION 402
(a) (3)."
How much clearer can it be made aspartame decomposes and
adulterates food in violation of both State and Federal law?
Was it intentional by the manufacturer? Even during
congressional hearings with release of the secret trade
information (Document 31, 12/28/70) - Food and Drug
Sweetener Strategy, it is obvious psycho manipulation was
intended. The last paragraph reads:
"With the spoon-for-spoon, we have no way of estimating
maximum likely abuse and hence need to utilize data based on
almost complete conversion to DKP. If we include this use in
the original FAP, we stand a good chance of ending up with
nothing in the short run and nothing in the long run whereas
the other approach would give us something in the short run
and, quite likely as much as we would ever get in the long
run."
This admission of almost complete conversion to DKP shows
they knew the molecule would break down to this brain tumor
agent. They knew the gun was loaded. It is no wonder that
one of the reasons the FDA wanted them indicted for fraud
was that they were excising the brain tumors from the rats
and putting them back in the study. Then when they died they
resurrected them on paper. In July the result of the Italian
Study on aspartame also showed malignant brain tumors as
well as lymphoma and leukemia. Eur. J. Oncol., Vol
10, n. 2, pp.00- 00, 2005 - Aspartame
Induces Lymphomas and Leukaemias in rats
So how did aspartame get approved? Certainly not by science
but by politics of the CEO of Searle who said he would "call
in his markers" and get it approved. On Reagan's transition
team he got President Reagan to appoint an FDA Commissioner
who would approve it, which he did the day after he took
office. Fearful that it would take 30 days to get him there,
Reagan wrote an executive order making the current FDA
Commissioner powerless to do anything about aspartame until
he got there. This is exposed in the aspartame documentary
Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World,
www.docworkers.com
A Board of Inquiry was set up of the finest scientists the
FDA had to offer who revoked the petition for approval based
on the fact aspartame had never been proven safe and
triggered brain tumors. Dr. Hayes over-ruled the Board of
Inquiry and approved aspartame for dry goods. Again, even a
child would know if you put Equal in hot coffee it would
break down. At that time, the FDA was saying aspartame could
not be heated.
On Oct 15, 1982 G. D. Searle petitioned the FDA for approval
to use aspartame in soft drinks. Acting FDA Commissioner,
Mark Novitch approved aspartame for use in carbonated
beverages and carbonated beverage syrup bases (Federal
Register 1983). FDA Commissioner, Arthur Hull Hayes was out
of town the day the approval was signed, but he worked
closely with Mark Novitch on this issue (Gordon 1987, page
499 of US Senate 1987). Ignoring the FDA's own safety
standards, they more than doubled the Acceptable Daily
Intake of aspartame from 20 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg (Mezenbaum
l985).
FDA's own toxicologist, the late Dr. Adrian Gross, who took
part in on-site investigations at Searle, said the studies
carried out by Searle to show the safety of aspartame were
"to a large extent unreliable". He said "at least
one of those studies has established "beyond any reasonable
doubt that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in
experimental animals and that this... is of extremely high
significance." Gross also testified that because
aspartame was capable of producing brain tumors and brain
cancer, FDA should not have been able to set an allowable
daily intake of the substance at ANY LEVEL. Congressional
Record SID835:131 (8/1/85).
It was obvious even then that aspartame is a carcinogen,
which was recently established again by the Italian Study.
So Dr. Gross asked "In view of these indications that the
cancer causing potential of aspartame is a matter that had
been established way beyond any reasonable doubt, one can
ask: What is the reason for the apparent refusal by the FDA
to invoke for this food additive the so-called Delaney
Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act?" The Delaney
Amendment makes it illegal to allow any residues of cancer
causing chemicals in foods. So in his concluding testimony
Gross asked, "Given the [cancer causing potential of
aspartame], how would the FDA justify its position that it
views a certain amount of aspartame as constituting an
allowable daily intake or 'safe" level of it? Is that
position in effect not equivalent to setting a 'tolerance'
for this food additive and thus a violation of that law? And
if the FDA itself elects to violate the law, who is left to
protect the health of the public?"
So how was aspartame approved? By violating the law. Since
this time after making this public rather than operating
within the law they repealed the Delaney Amendment. There
were actually 2 FDA toxicologists and Dr. Jacqueline Everett
also testified before Congress. She said the studies used to
approve aspartame were a "disaster" and "should have been
thrown out." This was on Nov 3, 1987, U.S. Senate. And even
at that time, 6 years after approval she concluded the data
in the study was worthless, and the safety of aspartame and
its breakdown products have therefore not been determined.
She emphasized aspartame exists in the marketplace without
basic toxicity information. And she said there are no data
to assess the interactions with DKP, excess phenylalanine,
other aspartame metabolites, additives, drugs or other
chemicals. Today we know that aspartame interacts with all
drugs and vaccines, and there is a report about it on
www.wnho.net. There is also a
chapter on this in Dr. Robert's medical text.
The FDA's own report admits to 92 documented symptoms
triggered by aspartame from four types of seizures to coma
and death. As to it being unsafe Aspartame Disease: An
Ignored Epidemic, is 1038 pages of symptoms and diseases
completely documented triggered by this deadly neurotoxin -
www.sunsentpress.com. Dr. H.J.
Roberts, the author, not only testified before Congress but
took care of the victims in the trenches of medical practice
for two decades. He testified in his first press conference
that if something wasn't done then in 5 or 10 years we would
have a global plague on our hands, so this ignored FDA
approved epidemic has been declared by Dr. Roberts himself
in the title of his medical text.
Under NMSA Statute 25 - 2 - 10, aspartame violates:
(A)
(1) contains a poisonous and deleterious substance which
renders it injurious to health.
(2) contains a poisonous and deleterious substance which is
unsafe.
(3) consists of a decomposed substance and unfit for food
(4) injurious to health
(6) a poisonous and deleterious substance rendering the
contents injurious to health
(B)
(3) inferiority has been concealed
(4) substance reducing quality
(C) contains alcohol (actually a methyl ester, which
immediately converts to deadly methanol or wood alcohol,
which converts to formaldehyde and formic acid and causes
metabolic acidosis.
Methanol is classified as a narcotic (Louis, R. J. Sax's
Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, Eighth
Edition, New York, Van Nostrand Reinhold (l992), pp.
2251-2252.
Continued Violations: 25-2-13 Promulgating regulations
governing the addition of any poisonous or deleterious
substances in food (1982). Aspartame is unsafe and
adulterated.
In Statute 25-2-15 Authority to promulgate regulations for
the efficient enforcement of the New Mexico Food Act is
vested in your Board. Therefore, the EIB has the right to
ban aspartame as should have been done in the beginning by
the FDA!
Also many federal court decisions, particularly a recent one
in Minnesota by Federal Judge James Rosenbaum, (Rosenbaum
Hatch Pfizer Minnesota) have affirmed the right of a state
to protect its citizen's health, despite corporate claims of
being protected by the FDA approval of their products and
that nothing in the act which created the FDA was intended
to preempt any state tort law or consumer protection statute
or certainly the statutory powers given to the New Mexico
EIB in statutes and in the New Mexico Administrative Code.
There is the necessity for a rule change to identify
aspartame as a neurotoxin as identified during congressional
records and various medical texts and physician reports, and
to further refine the definition of adulterant to include
neurotoxic effects. This is not only well within your
powers, but in fact long over due service to all New Mexico
consumers who are ingesting this product with no way of
knowing its proven neurotoxic effects.
After taking the case histories for 14 years and lecturing
in other countries the cries of the public are devastating.
I remember Kelli Motluck who lost her life to aspartame
brain tumors and left a grieving husband and child who would
never know her mother. She cried, "I want to live, I want
to live, I want to live but if I die I plead with you to
tell the world the manufacturer of aspartame has murdered
me." We must stop the corporate destruction of innocent
men, women and children. Remember when you damage DNA you
can destroy humanity, and this has been proven by scientific
study.
Aspartame destroys families at large. It is an endocrine
disrupting drug, stimulates prolactin, changes menses and
causes infertility. Many go through life never knowing why
they can't conceive. And if they get off the toxin it's an
abortifacient and teratogen (triggers birth defects and
mental retardation) and if a live child is born it may have
heinously damaged the DNA for generations to come.
From the first gleam in the husband's eye, it triggers male
sexual dysfunction from damage to the hypothalamus of the
brain and mitochondria of the cell, and ruins female
response. The phenylalanine in aspartame depletes serotonin
triggering behavioral and psychiatric problems. A study in
Japan also shows aspartame causes infertility in men as
well.
Be assured that all information is fully documented both
legally and medically, and government documents are
available to prove any point. Physicians are now setting up
aspartame detoxification centers in the US and other
countries. Pauline Harding, M.D., as an example, has one in
Chicago. The next film to be released is titled Sweet
Remedy and it interviews physicians on how to help those
afflicted by aspartame the world over.
Aspartame is marketed as a diet product with the aspartame
industry knowing full well it triggers obesity. Even in the
protest of the NSDA it says: "Aspartame has been
demonstrated to inhibit the carbohydrate-induced synthesis
of the neurotransmitter serotonin (Wurtman affidavit).
Serotonin blunts the sensation of craving carbohydrates and
thus is part of the body's feedback system that helps limit
consumption of carbohydrate to appropriate levels. Its
inhibition by aspartame could lead to the anomalous result
of a diet product causing increased consumption of
carbohydrates." Senate, 5/7/85: S5511
Recently, this was confirmed by an epidemiological study by
Sharon Fowler of the University of Texas with 8 years data
linking diet drinks to obesity. Aspartame also can
precipitate diabetes, simulates and aggravates diabetic
retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic nerve and
interacts with insulin. For years news reports have
questioned what has caused the epidemics of obesity and
diabetes. Just more deception from the aspartame industry!
If anyone disagrees with the banning of aspartame, it will
only be the manufacturers or their front group Calorie
Control Council, which is here in Atlanta under four
different names including the Kellen Company. Their lies are
a violation of every principle of morality and decency. Dr.
Russell Blaylock exposed them to the Miami Herald on
